Coverage Options

STATE MANDATED MINIMUM
NO COST TO THE SHIPPER (CUSTOMER), THE COVERAGE IS BUILT INTO THE ESTIMATED PRICE
MOVER LIABILITY IS VERY LIMITED
Maximum Liability limited to $0.60 per pound, per article.
If any article is damaged while in your mover’s custody, your mover’s liability is limited to the actual weight of the damaged article, based on industry standard weights, multiplied by $0.60. This is the basic liability level and is provided with the service. This is not a replacement or repair option. This coverage is based strictly on the weight of the article or item and disregards the actual value of the item.
Be advised: $0.60 per pound is considerably less than the average value of household goods.

Maximum Liability limited to $6.00 per pound, per article. This is calculated by taking the weight of your shipment and multiplying it by $6.00 per pound (the average value of household goods) to calculate the max liability for your shipment

If any article is damaged while in our custody, Forward Moving LLC in its sole discretion, will either:
1) Repair the article to the extent necessary to restore it to the same condition as received or pay you the cost of the repair, or
2) Replace the article with an article of like kind and quality based on depreciated value.
3) Compensate you monetarily based on the depreciated value and agree to a compensation amount.
There is a $150.00 deductible for all claims. Note: In the event of a damage payment for service, premium and the deductible must be paid prior to claim being processed. Under replacement value protection there is a minimum of $25,000.00 and maximum of $50,000 in coverage per truck load. It is $6.00 for every $1000.00 in declared value. Please see the chart below.

** Service Charges including the premium and deductible are due prior to claim being processed**
